Things to Help Speed Up Coolsculpting Results?

Question

Are there things such as anti-inflammatory teas, massage, or increased water intake that will help speed up coolsculpting result? I realize patience is necessary and downtime is as long as 2-4 months so that need not be reiterated. Just curious if these types of supplements may help? Is the delay due to down time for the apoptosis to happen, or due to the actual removal? Thanks!

This is a hard question to answer for every body's reaction time varies. Your body's macrophages digest and consume the dead fat cells and lipids within the cell. So this is a natural process that is hard to speed up. Drinking water, exercising and eating healthy can all help speed up the results to some degree. Increasing circulation by massage and/or exercise helps stimulate the lymphatic system which may help flush out the dead fast cells at a faster past.

It takes time for the frozen fat cells to clear your system and generally 3 weeks to 3 months is generally accepted as the time frame during which results can be seen.  Sometimes eating a high protein diet and increasing your metabolism with exercise can also increase the chance of a great result.

There is always a
delay in seeing results from CoolSculpting for several reasons. The
process of apoptosis refers to slow cell death. The fat cells take
about two weeks to actually die after treatment and then the body’s
inflammatory processes get rid of the debris. I don't know of any
supplements that can necessarily speed up your CoolSculpting results.
Increasing water or tea intake will have no effect. The body needs
time to break down the destroyed fat cells and gradually eliminate
them through the lymph system. Cardiovascular exercise such as
walking or elliptical devices increase circulation and may help in
seeing results sooner.
We have found that
the Zimmer Z-Wave, which is radial pulsed therapy, can enhance
results of CoolSculpting by up to 50%.There is no evidence that
Zimmer Z-Wave speeds the results up, but it does cause more fat cell
death and results are more impressive with the combination.

If you want to get
more dramatic and faster results with your CoolSculpting, I would
suggest starting a more rigorous diet and exercise program. Please
consult a board-certified dermatologist to find out if you are a
candidate for CoolSculpting.

Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive  fat reduction for
the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage
applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed
onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and
typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal
results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the
patient's goals.  There is not downtime and the results can be impressive
in the right patient.  We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient
comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty
good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what. Healthy diet and exercise is very important to get the best results.  My best,

Once the fat cells die, the body needs to clear them via the immune macrophage cells. Repeated treatment, can be performed at six weeks (some doctors repeat sooner, and others later). Repeated treatment at this interval may provide a better end result than waiting four months to do a second or third treatment.

Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is more successful when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. However, it is not necessary to diet before having treatment. Coolsculpting will remove 20-25% of fat in a treated area. Combing exercise and healthy diet with give best results. Best of Luck!

Ariel Ostad, MD · Answer

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after three months. In the weeks and months following your procedure, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they're gone for good. The best method in enhancing your CoolSculpting results are diet and exercise. Thank you for your question, hope this helps.

There is nothing that I know of that can speed up the results of CoolSculpting. Eliminating the dead fat cells after cryolipolysis takes time. To improve results, we use Z-wave radial shockwave therapy. Z-Wave creates a quick and efficient massage on the areas of the body that have been treated with CoolSculpting. Z-Wave may be 50 percent better than a manual massage for increasing CoolSculpting's benefits. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to see if you are a candidate for CoolSculpting.

Hardik Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is a fat-freezing procedure that is FDA-cleared, for non-surgical
fat-reduction treatment. CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to eliminate
stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise. There are no
studies that show that taking any supplements will speed this process up. You can
expect to see 20-25% fat reduction with each treatment. Some patients start to
see results as soon as 3-4 weeks after treatment. However, it takes up to 3
months to see full results. I hope this information helps.
Best of Luck!
